PayPal for Digital Goods WordPress Plugin

The PayPal for Digital Goods plugin allows you to generate a PayPal payment button that will let your customers pay for a digital file instantly using an inline/popup window using the PayPal’s in-context express checkout API/Gateway.

The customer will never leave your site to make the payment. The digital file will be given to the user immediately after the payment automatically.

Here is How it Works

You will create a Buy Now button on the landing page of your digital file product using the shortcode provided by this plugin. The button will look something like the following:

When your customers click the Buy button, an inline popup window will open for the payment. See example below:

The customer will get the file download immediately after the payment.

How PayPal’s In-Context Express Checkout Works

The Express Checkout flow keeps the buyer on your web page or mobile app throughout the entire checkout flow. On desktops, buyers check out in a secure lightbox window that overlays your website. On tablets and smart phones, buyers access the PayPal payment screens in a full-page mobile browser.
